How to add text to my homepage?

[linnellej]

Hello,

 

I would like to add company description text to the homepage of my site. I would like to add it just under the "What's New Products" but right before the footer. Can someone shed any light on how to do this? Thanks in advance.

I have done the same to my site, but I made it so that the text only shows to visitors, but not to logged in users.

 

in catalog/index.php

 

find:

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

</tr>

 

add after:

 

<tr><td> </td></tr>

<?php

 

if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

echo TEXT_BLANK;

 

} else {

 

echo TEXT_HOME_DESCRIPTION;

 

}

?>

 

in catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

add anywhere before the ending ?>

 

define('TEXT_BLANK', '');

define('TEXT_HOME_DESCRIPTION, 'Your company description text here');

 

If you also want some text for logged in users, then put the text between the ' ' in the define('TEXT_BLANK', 'text for logged in users here');

I gave it a try and none of the text shows up.

 

This is what's in the bottom of my catalog/includes/languages/english.php:

 

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . STORE_NAME . '</a> ');

define('PRICE', 'Price');

 

define('TEXT_BLANK', 'put text here');

define('TEXT_HOME_DESCRIPTION', 'put text here');

?>

 

And this is what's in the catalog/index.php:

 

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?>

 

<?php echo tep_draw3_bottom();?>

 

<?php echo tep_draw_bottom();?>

 

</td>

 

<tr><td> </td></tr>

 

<?php

 

if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

echo TEXT_BLANK;

 

} else {

 

echo TEXT_HOME_DESCRIPTION;

 

}

?>

 

 

Please let me know what you think...Thanks.

It looks like you are using a template system in which case I am not familiar with how that works and perhaps what I gave you will not work for you. I use it myself and it works, but I am not using any template system.
